Dress smart-casual and for walking
Sturdy walking shoes and a light rain layer are best—the property mixes lawns, packed earth and muddy patches after rain.
Bring insect repellent
Forest edges can have mosquitoes and tsetse in season; repellent and long sleeves at dawn/dusk reduce bites.
Carry small cash
For souvenirs, tips for the guide, or extras not included in the tour—cards may not be accepted at all points.
Plan around closures
The farm is closed on Mondays and the last day of each month, plus Christmas and New Year’s Day—book accordingly.
Sturdy walking shoes
Comfortable shoes with grip for wet trails and packed earth paths.
Light rain jacket
Quick showers are common on the highland plateau—stay dry during the forest walk.
Reusable water bottle
Hydration on the walk; the farm provides refreshments but carrying water is convenient.
Binoculars or zoom lens
Useful for spotting Colobus monkeys and birds in the canopy without disturbing wildlife.
